context_page_description: Charles-Émile Reynaud was a French inventor, responsible for the praxinoscope and the first projected animated films. His Pantomimes Lumineuses
  premiered on 28 October 1892 in Paris. His Théâtre Optique film system, patented in 1888, is also notable as the first known instance of film perforations being used. The performances predated Auguste and Louis Lumière's first paid public screening of the cinematographe on 26 December 1895, often seen as the birth of cinema.
context_section_description: The Pantomimes Lumineuses were painted directly onto the transparent strip and manipulated by hand to create a circa 15 min show of circa 500 images per title.
